USB (or PCI) Linux WiFi NIC with Monitor mode
by Shahed Moolji 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

Hi All, I am looking for a USB Wi-Fi NIC interface, so that I can connect to a wireless network, on a PC running Linux. (Suse 9.2, Kernal 2.6 i believe ) I have found the URL below, http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/Linux.Wireless.drivers… which lists a lot of options, but I was wondering if anyone on this list can suggest from their experience, a good USB piece of hardware, that is relatively easy to install. My most important requirment, is to be able to use ethareal, to sniff packets on the WLAN, so I am looking for a driver that supports monitor or promouscious mode. Ethreal seems to have problems with this on WinXP, with most common wifi nic drivers, and so recommends using Linux, therefore my quest to find a device. I dont have any PCI slots free, but if anyone has had good experience with a PCI card, then I may even free up a slot, instead of going the USB way. Thanks Shahed.

These are the only broad criteria for moderation. This is a good start for stating a policy :) It should be disclosed on the mail list sign up page and in the welcome message. > On an average about 10 emails are rejected every week for not following guidelines, especially > for top posting. In my opinion, for this volume of rejection, the list may as well be unmoderated. This is significantly less compared to numbers given by Philip Tellis in an earlier posting. Although, I endorse bottom posting, I'd prefer substance over a syntactically correct message with no substance. An example on the web site/welcome message would help the uninitiated. > You may contact the human owner at linuxers-owner at mm.ilug-bom.org.in Great! I will certainly do so.

List admin policies
by Philip Tellis 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Just to notify everyone on this list. If the list admin notices someone abusing the list guidelines, that person is mailed off-list. Also note that there are multiple list admins, and as far as possible they try to react in the same way to a particular action. At the same time, keep in mind that they are human and some things might slip through especially if one is too busy to pay attention to the list for some time.

Building RPMs
by Rony Bill 08 Jun '05

08 Jun '05

Hello All, Can anyone post a note on building rpms from source rpms? I have looked on the net, even the rpm website but I goes a little bouncer. I have even created an rpm folder with some subfolders called BUILD RPMS SOURCE ... as per a site's instructions but I am not able to get any rpm --rebuild command to work. It gives an error of command not found. I use Mandrake 10.1 and its package manager shows no such package 'rpm-build' or 'rpm*' even in the full list. What is this part about setting environment variables for the rpm building? One site say that the source rpm has to be installed first and then it is rebuilt. Its all confusing.

http://www.financialexpress.com/fe_full_story.php?content_id=92936 According to this M$ employee people no longer buy PCs based on hardware and software. Sophisticated users now buy "debating the choice between licence software or open source software" The microserf needs to be reminded that opensource software is licenced software and this licence allows the user to do a lot more for a lot less. Apart from the fact that this software actually allows the user to use his PC instead of chasing sundry worms. Maybe FN could write up a nice rebuttal in the Financial Express. rgds jtd
